Amplified music:

Listening to amplified music for less than 1.5 hours produces measurable changes in hearing ability that may place listeners at risk of noise-induced hearing loss, new research shows. While further research is needed to firmly establish this risk, the investigation is significant because it provides the first acoustical data for a new method to assess the potential harm from a widespread cultural behavior.

Loss of hearing:

If you listen to music on a high volume which is equivalent to or higher than 90 decibels, then it may cause some serious damage to your ears as well as permanent hearing loss. Thus make sure to take breaks while listening to music on earphones. Also, maintain the level of volume on a moderate level.

Ear infection and numbness:

Another thing that you abide by while using your headphones/earphones is that you should never ever share them with anyone. Sharing earphones may cause unwanted infections. Even when you decide to share your earphones make sure to sanitize them before using.Moreover, listening on to music for extended hours on your earphone may also lead to ear numbness. Along with ear numbness, you may also lose your hearing abilities temporarily. But if you ignore these signs and continue with the same habits then it may also result in a permanent hearing loss.

Effect on the brain:

Your brain too doesn’t stay untouched from the ill effects of extended and prolonged use of headphones. Your headphones generate electromagnetic waves which can cause severe harm to the brain in the long run. Since the inner part of the ear is connected to the brain, any damage caused to this part causes serious damage to the brain as well.
